Postmortem vitreous humor magnesium concentrations were determined in 27 alcoholics and in 27 nonalcoholics who died of various causes. No significant differences in magnesium values were present between these two groups. The concentrations in those dying with alcohol withdrawal syndrome or in those with postmortem findings limited to hepatic fatty change did not differ significantly from those in the nonalcoholic group or from those of the alcoholics dying of other causes. There was no correlation between vitreous humor magnesium concentrations and postmortem interval in any group. We conclude that vitreous humor magnesium determination is not helpful in the postmortem evaluation of suspected alcohol-related deaths or in determining postmortem interval.
对27名死于各种原因的酗酒者和27名非酗酒者的死后玻璃体液镁浓度进行了测定。两组之间的镁值无显著差异。死于酒精戒断综合征者或死后检查仅发现肝脏脂肪变性者的浓度与非酗酒组或死于其他原因的酗酒者相比，无显著差异。任何组的玻璃体液镁浓度与死后间隔均无相关性。我们得出结论，玻璃体液镁测定对疑似酒精相关死亡的死后评估或确定死后间隔并无帮助。
